Experiential Learning: Achieving Successful Transition into the 21st Century Workplace

Authentic experiential learning, exposing students to collaborative, interdisciplinary teamwork and technology utilization, allows for exploration, learning from errors, and fostersr adaptability, resilience, and creative problem-solving abilities. Extending experiential learning beyond the classroom into real-world settings through work-based learning, apprenticeships, or professional placements further develops the skills and attributes students need to transition successfully into employment.
